How do I make a website for my hardware or paint shop in India?

By Storzu··

Quick answer

Hardware and paint shops can launch a free website on Storzu: list tools, fittings, paints, and building supplies with prices, take retail and contractor bulk orders with delivery, collect payment by UPI or your own gateway, and update customers over SMS, email, and WhatsApp. Start free; add a custom domain, online payments, and a larger catalog on paid plans.

Hardware and paint shops serve walk-ins, homeowners, and contractors — a website with your catalog and prices lets all of them check availability and order, and makes bulk site orders easy to manage. Storzu makes it free.

List products by category

  • Tools, fittings, plumbing, electrical, and building materials with prices
  • Paints by brand and shade, with shade variations
  • Trade/bulk pricing on request for contractors
  • Grouped by category and brand so buyers find items fast

Retail and contractor orders

Take retail and bulk contractor orders with site delivery, and take payment by cash, direct UPI to your bank, or an online gateway on paid plans — with no per-order commission.

Confirm and update on every channel

Orders arrive through your site; send confirmed and out-for-delivery updates over SMS, email, and WhatsApp on eligible plans.

What it costs

Start on the Free forever plan (₹0). Upgrade for your own custom domain, online payments, and a larger catalog. See the pricing page or the home services guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell hardware online for free?

Yes. Storzu's Free forever plan is ₹0 — list up to 10 items, take 100 orders per month with COD or direct UPI, and pay no per-order commission. Put size, gauge, litre and shade code in the product name, and switch to wholesale mode with minimum quantities and tier pricing for trade customers.

How do I handle contractor and bulk orders?

Take bulk orders from contractors and builders with details captured up front, offer trade pricing on request, and set delivery for site drops. Product variations (sizes, shades) are unlimited on every plan.

How do I organise a large catalog?

Group by category — tools, fittings, plumbing, electrical, paints, building materials — so customers find items fast. Paid plans scale to hundreds of products.

How do retail and trade customers pay?

Cash, direct UPI to your bank, or an online gateway on paid plans — with no per-order commission. Trade buyers usually want a GST invoice against their firm, so capture company name and GSTIN at checkout in wholesale mode and the invoice carries it automatically.

Will my hardware store show up on Google?

Yes. Storzu pages ship with SEO and AI-discovery built in, so people searching for hardware or paint near them can find you on Google and AI assistants.
